Great place to stay
Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025

10/10

Very peaceful small town with the Inn right on the lake. Owner and help were very nice. B&B was quiet and relaxing with many places to sit and enjoy the lake front and the birds. Breakfast food was locally grown and or bought. Beautiful Bike path right along the property and along the lake and runs for miles. The beach was great and good for rock hunting and wading. Must do is visit the restored lighthouse right up the road. We will be back

The PMI was very clean and comfortable. Owners were great and their service and that of the staff was superb. A very unique and fun place to stay. Lake Huron could have been warmer (Ha!). Hope to return next year (we come up from Florida each year).

From the moment we walked in the door, we were Family. Larry and Cindy quickly pick up on each guests strengths and personality. They learn about your family by giving each guest personal attention. They set an environment that encourages all Guest to interact together. IE….puzzles, games , books , discussing decorations and artifacts, music etc.. if you like quiet there are many Beautiful spots to getaway. There is a place for everyone. We had a wonderful time and we plan to return with friends. We missed seeing the Purple Martins but this Inn did not disappoint. Larry and Cindy are the best.
